>    $ emacsclient -a "" -c bar.txt
> 
>    ;; In the first client frame:
>    foobar ;; Insert some text
>    C-x C-c
>    ;; Emacs prompts "Save file /path/to/foo.txt?..."
> 
> Now try the above, but call `(server-stop-automatically 'delete-frame)' 
> first (or replace `delete-frame' with `kill-terminal'; it doesn't

Gregory, any comments?

Thanks.
